Trouble is it becomes more of a Christian "who done it?", or a "who's the guy making everyone do it", than a movie which could have been better if M. Night Shyamalan had of just put five fundamentalists, including a fundamentalist atheist in a lift and watch them argue over who's god (or lack of one) is the better one.

The movie probably still would have played out pretty much the same, but seemed more realistic, I think;-)The movie even starts off with a supposed Bible verse that has fans of the movie considering it a "goof" on the movie's IMDB page,

and only grabbed a copy of 'Devil' because I had a "five movies for five dollars" offer.I had no idea until I had watched both movies that Chris Messina was a main star in both films.

Chris Messinawas also in 'An Invisible Sign' a film about numbers."Mona Gray is a 20-year-old loner who, as a child, turned to math for salvation after her father became ill.

As an adult, Mona now teaches the subject and must help her students through their own crises."

The funny thing is that MONA is the name of an art gallery/museum in Hobart, Tasmania, which has a red cross in it's cinema and is the museum/art gallery that has two crosses for it's logo, one representing sex, and one death -

I guess David is more into numbers, science and art than religion and spirituality, which is where his sharp mind lets him down in my opinion...not so much on religion, but as far as being able to see the spiritual side of life...or not see it;-)

I like how the movie starts with an upside-down fly over of Philadelphia (the old capital city of The USA, the city of brotherly love), because in a world of no gravity, or let me put it another way, in a world where we aren't "grounded" this would be a pretty good depiction of our world that we live on...unless you believe in the "flat earth theory" that is:-) If that's the case then, either I'm a shill, or you are a dickhead, and you should probably stop reading this blog before I drag your soul to hell along with mine.If you haven't guessed yet, I am no fan of the "flat earth theory".

Now one thing that really pisses me off is when people suggest that people who commit suicide end up in hell.All I can say having attempted suicide about 30 years ago, is that you haven't got a f#cking clue if you think that...not to say that there might not be a bit of red tape to get through if you do commit suicide... but as for going to hell? Grow up and go join the the "flat earthers" if you are that mindless.

Oh, by the way, did you see that Colonel Abrams passed away today? I had never heard of him until today, but his song 'Trapped' rings true to me.Bit like being "trapped" in an elevator with strangers that make you want to face the front and avoid eye contact, don't you think?-)I was thinking of the song 'Trapped' that a guy who shares the same birthday as I do sang a cover version of.

Don't you love synchronicity?

Oh, being someone who likes the odd drink without getting in a bar fight or having an AVO slapped on him, I would say because this world is so f#cked up that it drives you to drink, if you really care.

That's way more than half the battle, that's most of the battle.

True, but that ain't because of some kind of lame devil figure is to blame for YOUR mistakes.But I do agree with the AA motto of "one day at a time", because that is really the only way to live our life, primarily focusing on the now, than on some distant future, or past.

It's funny to me how various opposing groups claim the lion as their symbol, similar to how they all claim God as theirs only, as well.

I tend to agree with Gandhi when it comes to fundamentalist followers of any religion.Most of them don't seem to want to use the head and heart that their god gave them.

The movie starts off with a guy committing suicide(?)by jumping from out of a window on the 35th floor of the building where most of the action in this movie will take place.He lands on top of a bread truck with Rosary beads in his hand...get it ?"Give us this day our daily bread and..."?

OMG! An upside-down red star, or just a red herring?-)

I was thinking that a 2016 re-boot of this movie could really work if it was shot in the right building;-)

Now, that's a re-boot I would go to the cinema and see and it probably would scare my socks off, too.

Now there is a scary elevator movie that just might work.

And...SPOILER ALERT

The devil in the movie 'Devil' ends up being a little red haired lady that could probably pass as Donald Trump's mother.

"Time magazine has denied its Person of the Year cover intentionally gave US President-elect Donald Trump devil horns, after it caused a stir online.Each year, Time editors select the person who has most influenced the news and the world in the past year.This year's Time cover read, "Donald Trump: President of the Divided States of America" and the cover image featured a photograph of the President-elect sitting in his private residence at Trump Tower.But social media users were quick to note the placement of the letter "M" in the magazine's name directly behind Mr Trump's head.US comedian Jeremy McLellan posted on Twitter: "Donald Trump may have won Person of the Year, but Time wins Magazine of the Year for using the "M" to give him devil horns.""

Quote

"...each person who holds the truth of his synchronistic journey, while listening for the truth in another's journey, helps to build a new, more truthful worldview. And because of this honoring of evolving truth, that person exudes a special influence on the world."From"The Twelfth Insight"by James Redfield.

"At all events he seems a layman to the process, just as I am, and therefore probably thinks I know more than I do. The night simply calls for me to sit back, shut up and observe the goings-on."

Reputation?

Probably not quite what Alan Moore meant when he said this. ;-)

About Me

A blog journal to record my weird synchronicites and thoughts on life, and to save little puzzle pieces here in the hope that they may connect further on down the track.
More for my own amusement, than for anybody else.
Some things will only make sense to me personally, and some things may effect your life, too.But feel free to read, anyway.

The AO/OA ? I noticed that both Will Ferrell and Will Smith were guests this year of the Australian Open tennis tournament. ...

The Web

"Imagine a multidimensional spider's web in the early morning covered with dew drops. And every dew drop contains the reflection of all the other dew drops. And, in each reflected dew drop, the reflections of all the other dew drops in that reflection. And so ad infinitum. That is the Buddhist conception of the universe in an image." - Alan Watts

Authors of the Impossible

"What makes an author of the impossible is the insight that because paranormal processes can replicate literary processes and literary processes can replicate paranormal processes, writing can become a paranormal practise." Jeff Kripal

Here's what to do if you still dont get it :

"Start a blog. Fine with me if you want to do it under an asumed name. But do it. About something you care about. Then, check back in with yourself a month later and see if you're different. And how you are different. " Seth Godin, from his book "Meatball Sundae".
